This year’s honorees will join 20 others inducted into the Alumni Hall of Honor since 2011. Over the past two years, 16 honorees have attended the awards ceremony and shared their stories both with attendees and with students at school-hosted discussions during the week of the awards.

“These alumni are an inspiration for our students,” said District 203 Superintendent Linda Yonke. “They have such wonderful tales to tell of their time at New Trier, and we are humbled that so many of them choose to take time from their busy schedules to return to their alma mater. It is a privilege for our students to spend time learning from them.”

A Selection Committee made of alumni, New Trier staff members, two current students, and representatives of the New Trier Educational Foundation met several times to choose the 2013 honorees from a large field of nominations. Those selected embody the New Trier motto: “To commit minds to inquiry, hearts to compassion, and lives to the service of humanity.”
